Hi I have an different problem but judging from the photos you posted I would say you are a furniture miracle worker. I have an Ethan Allen table that has off white legs below the wood planking on the surface. I just noticed that there is some flaking of

a brown (wash?) that they put over the white to get the shade they wanted. Is there anything I can do to repair the area that is flaking? Thank you!

You can use a rag that you dip in some brown paint if the same shade, and rub it quickly up and down over the area that is flaking. Continue rubbing lightly until you reached desired coverage. The great thing about rag wiping paint on is it doesn't leave

paint brush marks and you are free to put as much, or as little as you need. Let that dry well, and do the same with a heavier amount of white. You have to restore the brown to be able to successfully restore the white.I hope this works as well for you as it has for me in the past. I usually pour a small amount right into a ceramic bowl, then I can use the edge of the bowl to make sure I do not have an excessive amount of paint on the rag. You want to have paint on the rag, but not soaked with paint. (You can always go back for more). Best of luck, and have fun with it!

Buy some of the same shade, (and finish) dab some on a scrunched up rag, and dab over the areas that are beginning to flake. You can easily control the amount that stays on the surface by wiping excess, or dabbing more where needed. Just work with it
